New centre in Singapore aims to build next generation of leaders against future pandemic threats
A new centre in Singapore is gearing up for the next pandemic by making sure the next generation of public health leaders in the region know how to react to future crises. Launched by NUS Medicine, the Centre for Infectious Disease Emergency Response (CIDER) will offer a new Masters of Science programme in infectious disease emergencies. The qualification is described by the school as the "first-of-its-kind". Professor Dale Fisher, Director of CIDER, talks about how the centre is different from what Singapore already has and how the masters programme will teach skills that can help fill the gaps in the country.
